A few of my new skill ideas for upcoming classic plus--what are your ideas?

With the inevitable release of classic plus sometime in the past or future, I wanted to start a mega thread of new skill ideas in hopes that someone at Blizzard will read it and incorporate our community's ideas into the game.

Blizzard has always been great at doing whatever the community wants as long as their accounting department tells them it will maximize profits at the same time. The kindness of big corporations who think and act like an indie gaming companies, bean-bag chairs and garbage-can basketball hoops in their headquarters, never fails to amaze me. I pay for an extra sub I don't use just to show Blizzard how much they mean to me.

Here is a skill idea for each class to get the thread started.

What are your ideas?

HUNTER Ninja Loot Shot Channel a barrage of greed that stuns your entire party or raid for two seconds. If you kill your target within that period, the stun will be extended by four seconds. During these four additional seconds, you may ninja one item from that target regardless of loot rules. Failure to leave the party within the four seconds will result in the item being destroyed and block you from using item restoration services for one week.

MAGE Dry Ice Block You create a giant block of dry ice on the ground in front of you. Enemies will take frost damage over time and be chilled if you can kite them to keep them inside of the block. Also while in radius of the block's effect, you feel pretty freaking cool, causing any buffs on you to not lose any duration.

WARRIOR Pain Tolerance When activated plays music from a random zone for thirty seconds in an attempt to relieve the boredom of running everywhere without any movement speed increases and having to grind your life away on green mobs.

DRUID Kangaroo Form You channel the down under to turn into a kangaroo, increasing your movement speed by twenty-five percent and making you immune to crushing blows because you can hop right over them. You also become a vehicle, capable of carrying one other player in your pouch.

ROGUE Double Dip Create a copy of yourself, and at the same time you and your copy poke your enemy for HUGE main-hand damage. Must be behind the target. Awards 0.69 combo points.

PALADIN Hate Thyself Judge an enemy to induce a sense of self-loathing. If used on an NPC, it causes a crying animation and forces them to walk to the Paladin to hug them for two seconds. If used on an opposing player, it will flood their chat with text, including time played and most shameful chat messages sent in the last week, causing them to be sad and distracted.

SHAMAN Bud Totem Place a totem at your feet that lasts for 4.20 seconds. The totem will smoke, inducing intense hunger in any nearby enemies and slowing their movement and attack speed by a dime.

WARLOCK Life Mana Double Tap Cast with both hands to be dumb/risky and tap into both your life and mana. You gain a random amount of either life or mana. At the same time, you lose a random amount of the opposite resource.

PRIEST Heal Bot Create a mechanical companion powered by ChatGPT. The unit will attempt to answer players’ questions sent to it via whisper, and it will also heal random targets, picking them inefficiently
